Yes, but...
This usage goes against many of the security claims of microkernels. In particular. If Linux is big and insecure running it in a VM doesn't really improves its security. It just make sure it doesn't infect the rest of the system. For this type of benchmark the "rest of the system" does not exist.
(I assume you meant the baseband processor in iPhone and Android. I don't think either use a clean microkernel and there isn't really a performance comparison available)
- pjmlp 7y agoI prefer to see hypervisors used alongside Unikernels in what concerns security. For me the benchmark that counts is "does it deliver in production", winning ms in laboratory micro-benchmarks is kind of useless. Specially when so many are willing to waste those ms running Electron apps on userspace.
